Author Page: James Maxey

James “Liver Eatin’” Maxey hails from the wilderness of Appalachia and is greatly feared throughout the Union as notorious horse thief, cannibal, and literary critic. Sometimes in the delirium that follows gorging on human blood, Maxey is filled with prophetic visions of horrors even greater than himself. He babbles these dreams as he tosses and turns in feverish sleep in the dark of his cavernous lair. His trained bear, Ernesto, faithfully scribes his words and trades the resulting manuscripts in the town of Big Lick for jugs of rotgut whiskey. Several short stories and novels have seen the light of day as a result, including the recently released Dragonseed.

Shimmer aspires to publish excellent fiction across lines of race, income, nationality, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, geography, and culture, and therefore encourages submissions of diverse stories from diverse authors. This includes, but is not limited to: people of color, LBGTQIA, women, the impoverished, the elderly, the incarcerated, and those with disabilities. We are not interested in acquiring fiction that denigrates or perpetuates stereotypes of the above groups.

We encourage authors of all backgrounds to write stories that include characters and settings as diverse and wondrous as the people and places of the world we live in. Every story sent to us should be well-researched, respectful, and conscientious.
